Too bad I still prefer cash.
I'm super annoyed right now. And frustrated. I just failed to pack my new wallet ...
So my old wallet has been falling apart more and more over the past few months, but I found myself having a real hard time finding a new one that would fit my idea of what the wallet would have to be like. Sometimes I just want something I purchase to meet certain criteria, and those may not be very mainstream, so it's hard to satisfy me. Anyway, I somehow allowed my mom to talk me into having her present me a wallet she saw at a street vendor's stand. I now blame it on my sickness that day; I was close to cancelling our meeting because I felt like crawling into bed, and then I eventually had to throw up my dinner later that night, so I guess I wasn't in the best place to make a decision.
It's a pretty wallet, but I worried right away that having the coin compartment in the middle of it would be a problem. Turns out it is. Actually the wallet looks more than packed with only my cards and IDs and public transportation ticket and all that stuff, but once I add even just a few coins, it's almost impossible to close it. and it looks utterly ridiculous from the side and extremely big.
In other words, I don't think I can use it because there is no way it could store everything I had in my old wallet, and that just sucks!!!
It wasn't a super expensive wallet, but my mom doesn't have the kind of money to just go spend it like that. But I don't have any solution right now. I think I'll have to keep looking for that one magic wallet that's made just for me and my requirements. I also hate to tell my mom because that would make it the second Christmas gift fail after she already had to return the Minnie Mouse panties she got me (which were obviously for girls with butts as flat as Holland because not even the bigger size that my mom had gotten for herself would remotely fit me). I'm also mad that I have now spent so much time trying to find a way to fit everything into that wallet, just to put that monster thing aside now without any coins in it. And I have no idea what to take along when I leave the house tomorrow: the monster that I might not be able to close if, heaven help me, someone had change in the form of coins for me, or the other one that's falling apart so badly that I might be losing some coins here and there (and which is currently empty, so I'm not keen at all on packing everything back in there).
Sorry, I'm currently in an "everything sucks" mood. :0( Not a happy camper. :0\
